the Society takes the following actions:

into the past, and documentation of Gaines Township History.
Maintain the De Tray School as a
hands-on museum which can be used by organizations and
individuals to make history come alive.
Identify local historical buildings
or sites and encourage their preservation, either physically or
in memory.
